Ethan Sherbondy is the developer of Mahjong Space and at work on several other visionOS apps. Mahjong Space was built with Spatial Personas in mind and is an amazing one to add to your visionOS app library if you are looking for more Spatial Persona games. The bulk of this episode was recorded before Apple surprise released Spatial Personas. We were able to record a special segment about Spatial Personas after Apple released that feature as a part of visionOS 1.1.We cover a ton of ground in this episode including the community aspect of developing for visionOS. Ethan is currently at VisionDevCamp and attended both GDC and a month long visionOS developer residency where he was able to collaborate with other visionOS developers during the launch month of this new platform. Early episodes with chapter markers are available by supporting the podcast at www.visionpros.fm/patreon.Early episodes are also now available in Apple Podcasts!
